At 17, I wanted nothing more than to be a professional ballerina. I practiced for hours every day and, like most teenagers, I thought I was indestructible. One day, after much repetition, I attempted an advanced move that my body did not have the strength to support and I found myself unable to dance.
Berry Pilates has a variety of equipment that to suit every body, every need. We offer Balanced Body reformers as well as Wunda chairs, ladder chairs, spine correctors, wobble boards, balls, bands, magic circles, rollers, elliptical machines, and much more. Our studio is private in order to allow the client the freedom to learn without distractions.
Eric Newton recently finished a 3-year stint in the Cirque du Soleil production Believe at the Luxor in Las Vegas as a principal performer and artist coach. He has performed across America and internationally with Cirque du Soleil (Quidam); Cirque Eloize (Cirque Orchestre); Teatro ZinZanni; as well as innumerable performances of his original acts.
I began working out with Jen at the same time that I began physical therapy for a childhood shoulder injury. She not only coordinated my pilates instruction with my physical therapist, via regular communication with him, but she also took a pro-active role in making sure that I strengthened the areas that I had previously injured and developed new exercises specifically for me that focused on strengthening my areas of vulnerability.
I love teaching (and taking) group classes- the energy of the group is infectious as classmates commiserate over doing the hundreds or a second (or third or fourth) set of squats. The joint suffering of doing yet another plank can be highly motivating and such a great bonding experience. But did you ever have that one Pilates exercise that never made sense?

I'm working with both Jenn and Stephan and they're both incredible. I've been struggling with a misaligned body for over a decade now, with daily pain and discomfort. These guys are putting me back into alignment, where I belong. Every session gets me closer, and I can feel it. It's a wonderful feeling to be in expert hands when it comes to your physical health.

Jenn is so very detailed with her Pilates training. When working with her, you get a true expert. I referred one of my clients to her - so not just trusting her vast knowledge and expertise of Pilates - but trusting her with my reputation and personal client. And what a good choice. My client is extraordinary happy with her and so am I! If you want an Pilates instructor you can trust and who gets results, see Jenn!.

I AM SO LUCKY TO HAVE FOUND JENN BERRY!! After more than 20 surgeries I thought there was no help for me. I needed to move but moving hurt and Jenn knew exactly what to do to help with the pain, my flexibility and being able to move in general. Her training is extensive and she can tailor a program to any body and any level of physical activity. If you want a workout, this is perfect. If you're in pain, talk to Jenn. She is an amazing instructor and does the work as intended by Joe Pilates. I am so grateful to Berry Pilates and Jennifer Berry in particular. She is absolutely the best!

I am so lucky that I found Jen!
About 6 months ago I started training with her in attempt to diminish the consistent lingering pain of a bad shoulder and back injury. Not only has Jen healed my body thru her Pilates genius (I am now 100% pain free!!!), but she has also made me feel so at ease in the process. She is at wonderful person who genuinely wants to help. Jen has helped me create a better relationship with my body and I am forever grateful! My body is strong and lean and healthy and I've never felt better in my own skin:)

Elaine is one of the best instructors there is. She has taught me not only how to do the exercises but how to hold my body through out the day and where my center is and it has adjusted my neck and back ( I'm on my feet all day) she is very knowledgeable and caring about your body and the work she does.

Elaine, elaine, elaine!!!!!
I'm an over worked, can't relax, on the go kind of person! I'm always looking for some way to get exercise in. I stand all day at work and also need to stretch my muscles out because getting older has been hard on my body. A friend recommended Elaine. I was so pleased because she went through a good consultation about my needs, my body ailments and my lack to time. I feel like i get a workout that is completely made for me. She always has a smile and positive energy (I can be grumpy) she keeps me a task, check in on me and makes me looking forward to

I don't usually give places 5 stars unless they really deserve it. Elaine really deserves it. Elaine is the best Pilates instructor I have ever worked with and being a professional ballet dancer I have worked with a lot of them. Elaine is unreal! She diagnoses my bodies issues and snaps to a set of exercises that gets right to the heart of the problem. After working with her I feel worked in the absolute best way possible. You really feel like your time was well spent with Elaine and after working with her for a while you progress quickly. She is so intelligent with her work. I had

I highly recommend Elaine!!!! Her dance background and attention to detail sets her apart from any other Pilates instructor I have worked with (and I have worked with many!!!!) Elaine's focus on alignment coupled with her witty sense of humor will make the 55 minute session seem like 5 minutes! Highly, highly, HIGHLY recommend her!!!

This was my first time ever taking a Pilates class and I cannot wait to go back!! My instructor Elaine was fantastic as she was attentive, understood I was a first timer and helped guide me through all the awkward first timer issues. She taught the class a good pace, pushed us all just enough. I left feeling great and want to further pursue Pilates. The class was small which I really liked because Elaine was able to watch each one of us carefully so we did everything correctly and got the most out of our time there. I will definitely go back to her.

First of all to the people who comment on the parking, there is metered parking right in front for 1 hour and 2 hour meters and free parking right around the corner.
I have been going here for a year and love it. My instructor is Paula and she is amazing. I met her some years ago when she was doing PT and I was in agony due to a bulging disc in my back. She worked wonders on me. Her knowledge of the body is extraordinary and over the years, she has helped me and members of my family with all sorts of aches and pains.

I for one am a crazy workout girl... since the time I was 12 I've been in gyms, skiing mountains, on beaches playing volleyball, playing school sports & in the fitness & circus business myself. When Jenn asked me to take a class I was a bit leery of Pilates & if it was going to give me a big enough workout, but boy! Was it crazy! Like all over the body crazy! Plus her equipment is super nice & I really enjoyed her instruction! Plus, the location is so nicely central that I know I will be back for sure! Thanks!

I had never done pilates with the machine before (only mat pilates), and Talia made my first experience so incredibly positive! She is an encouraging coach, does a great job making adjustments to form, and she knows when she can push you a just little further. I am already seeing results after only a few sessions. She also gave me some exercises to do at home, which have been very helpful in alleviating my chronic neck pain. HIGHLY recommend.

I don't usually review but I must share...
WOW...what a gem! I LOVE this place...good location, talented teachers, clean and good rates. I've been to several pilates studios and this one by far out performs the rest.
I started going to get in better shape and work on my flexibility to help with a painful back injury. They set me up with Jenn, who is superb. She plans out my sessions and always focuses on my goals or requests that I have made. I wanted to strengthen my abs and work on my midsection and she knew exactly how to get my target area.
I feel like I always leave with more

Having never done pilates before, I had no idea what to expect, I just knew I wanted to see what all the fuss what about......and I'm so glad I did! I found myself in the caring hands of Talia, what a gem! She has done a wonderful job of strengthening my problem areas and toning me in a way that I haven't had from other forms of exercise. I feel taller and stronger. She has also been wonderful in tailoring sessions around my sciatica, which is wonderful as I usually stop exercising altogether when it flares up. Highly recommend Talia, highly recommend pilates, you'll love it!
